Were it fenown now that free trade would be declared on a given date the island sugar still unshipped would be cornered by speculators to the detriment of the planters. This Governor Allen wishes to avoid. It is safe to say that the legislature will be called in extra session.as soon after July I as is July 25 has been suggested as an appropriate date.

By recent act of th legislattire that day, which will be the third anniversary of the landing of troops, and also -Santiagos day, the feast of the patron saint of Spain, has been made a A RICH FIELD For Exfwrters Will South Africa be When Wir Closes.
